Olympic snowboarding bronze medal winner Jenny Jones reveals that a broken
English tea bag became her 'good-luck charm' when she started to compete

The tea bag was acquired during Ms Jones' stint as a chalet girl in France, "I had to tuck it in my bra because we were in a rush and then I went snowboarding for the day".

The bronze medal winning snowboarder said she had a particularly good day on the slopes that day, landing "some really good tricks" and on arriving home she noticed that the tea bag had split spilling tea leaves inside her bra.

Ms Jones said she took it as a good sign, thinking, "Oh my gosh, this must be good luck, so I gathered them all up and put them in a tin and carried it with me for the next two or three years."
